Have you ever wondered why it is that people who desperately want to adopt physically active lifestyles don’t stick with them once their initial burst of motivation fades? This provocative presentation will showcase the science for a new paradigm to better foster sustainable behavior change. Dr. Michelle Segar will explain why logic-based reasons for behavior change (e.g., better health, disease prevention, etc.) keep people stuck in cycles of starting and stopping but not behavioral sustainability. Using a science-based story, she will describe a novel approach to promoting physical activity and other self-care behaviors that can be used across contexts (organizational, health care, fitness, coaching, etc.). Attendees will leave this session with a more strategic way to think about and promote the sustainable behavior necessary for achieving improved health and well-being.
